Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Pour Cadbury eggs into a gallon size zip lock bag and with a mallet or rolling pin, crush the eggs. You can put them in whole which is still yummy and how my husband prefers them but the I like to get a little piece of the Cadbury chocolate in every bite!

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until they are light and fluffy.

Add the beaten eggs and the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients and slowly add them to the wet ingredients.

Add the Cadbury eggs and beat just a couple of times.

Drop 2" size balls onto an ungreased (or parchment paper lined) cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes.

Do NOT overbake these cookies, they are meant to be soft and slightly doughy, kind of like a brownie!
